Greenwich Laser Resurfacing With the Cartessa CO2 CoolPeel Laser
Laser resurfacing has been the gold-standard treatment in skin rejuvenation for decades. A powerful laser targets abnormalities on the skin’s surface. The laser ablates, or removes, damaged tissue. Removing these damaged cells helps the body rejuvenate and heal. Laser treatments offer significant results and can dramatically improve the skin’s appearance.
While traditional laser treatments are highly effective, they can come with significant downtime and discomfort. When seeking a laser for our center, Dr. Margoles prioritized finding an option that provided her patients with superior results and a more comfortable treatment experience. The Cartessa CO2 CoolPeel laser provides our patients with the results of a traditional laser treatment without downtime or discomfort.
CoolPeel uses one of the most advanced CO2 lasers on the market, the SmartXide Tetra laser. This laser delivers its high-powered beam via short pulses at low energy settings. A shorter pulse allows for less thermal damage to the skin while maintaining an ablative laser’s powerful results.
The CoolPeel laser offers many benefits over traditional laser resurfacing, including:
- Shorter treatment takes about 15 minutes
- Significantly reduced pain and discomfort (many patients report a pain-free treatment)
- Shorter recovery period with minimal downtime
- Less invasive and aggressive
- Highly customizable treatment protocols for enhanced results
- The transformative results patients expect from a laser treatment
By using the Cartessa CO2 CoolPeel laser, we can offer patients better results with less downtime and discomfort than that associated with traditional laser therapy. We look forward to helping our patients experience the benefits of this powerful but gentle laser.

What to Expect from Laser Skin Resurfacing with Kállos Medical Aesthetics
When you choose Kállos Medical Aesthetics for laser resurfacing, you’re choosing a team dedicated to delivering exceptional results with your comfort in mind. To begin, you will have a personalized consultation with Dr. Margoles, who will evaluate your skin concerns and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
On treatment day, the CoolPeel laser procedure typically takes just 15 minutes, and many patients report pleasant surprise at the lack of discomfort. Unlike traditional laser treatments that require extensive downtime, CoolPeel allows you to return to your regular activities quickly.
Results begin to appear within seven to 10 days, with continued improvement over the following months as your skin regenerates and collagen levels increase. Most patients achieve their desired results with three to four treatments spaced four weeks apart.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Aftercare & Recovery
One of the most appealing aspects of the CoolPeel laser is its minimal recovery period. While traditional laser resurfacing often requires weeks of recovery time, CoolPeel patients can typically resume their normal routines within a day or two. Your skin may appear slightly red or feel mildly sensitive immediately following treatment, similar to a light sunburn, but these effects are temporary and manageable.
Proper aftercare plays an essential role in optimizing your results and ensuring smooth healing. We’ll provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions, but the basics include:
- Keep your skin clean using a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser.
- Apply a hydrating moisturizer regularly to support the healing process.
- Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Avoid direct sun exposure whenever possible.
- Avoid using harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or other potentially irritating products until your skin has fully healed.
Most patients can resume their regular skincare routine within a few days. If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, our team is always available to support you and ensure you’re healing beautifully.

FAQ About Laser Resurfacing in Greenwich & Westchester
How many treatments will I need?
We typically recommend that patients receive an initial series of treatments at the beginning of the laser resurfacing process. Dr. Margoles will recommend a certain number of treatments depending on the condition of your skin and your desired results. Most patients require three to four treatments, spaced every four weeks to achieve the desired results.
Dr. Margoles may suggest ongoing treatments to maintain your results after the initial appointment series
Should I combine my laser resurfacing with other cosmetic treatments?
Laser rejuvenation is a highly effective option on its own. However, many patients choose to combine laser skin care with other surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Some options can work in concert to enhance and magnify results.
Many of our patients opt to combine dermal fillers or RF Microneedling with the CoolPeel laser. These two treatments work synergistically to smooth and tighten skin laxity. This treatment combination offers results that rival a surgical procedure with significantly less downtime.
How much does laser resurfacing cost in Greenwich, CT?
We believe in a customized treatment approach for every patient, but this can make it difficult to estimate treatment costs without an in-person meeting. We’ll provide a detailed estimate for your treatment costs during your consultation with Dr. Margoles. Reach out to a member of our team to schedule your first visit to our office today.
Is the CoolPeel laser safe for dark skin tones?
The CoolPeel laser is safe for many skin types and tones. Since it is an ablative laser, some patients with darker skin may be at an increased risk for pigmentation problems after treatment. A consultation is the best way to determine if this treatment option is right for you.
If laser treatment isn’t an ideal way to rejuvenate your skin, Dr. Margoles can recommend alternatives that are safe and effective for your skin type.
How quickly will I see results after laser treatment?
Patients start to see results shortly after their first treatment, usually within seven to 10 days. As collagen levels in the skin increase, results continue to improve for several months after the laser procedure.
How long will my results last?
Laser resurfacing offers long-lasting results. Many patients enjoy their renewed appearance for one to two years or more after treatment.
Will my skin need special care after a CoolPeel laser treatment?
Patients can resume their typical routines quickly after a CoolPeel laser treatment. We’ll provide detailed instructions for caring for your skin, but following your typical skin care regimen is our main recommendation. Patients should cleanse and moisturize their skin using a gentle cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer each day. As the skin heals, it may be more sensitive to the sun. Limit direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily.
How painful is laser resurfacing?
The CoolPeel laser has a reputation for comfort, and many patients report almost no pain at all. Unlike traditional laser treatments that can cause significant discomfort, our advanced technology uses short pulses at lower energy settings, minimizing pain while delivering excellent results.
What are the disadvantages of skin laser treatment?
While laser resurfacing offers effective results, potential drawbacks include temporary redness, mild sensitivity, and increased vulnerability to sun exposure during healing. Some patients with darker skin tones may have a higher risk of pigmentation changes. Dr. Margoles will assess your suitability during your consultation, and if you are not a candidate, she will recommend another procedure to achieve your goals.
What is the best age for laser skin resurfacing?
No single best age exists for laser skin resurfacing. Most patients in their 30s to 60s choose this option to address fine lines, sun damage, or texture concerns. The ideal timing deepens on your skin condition and goals rather than age. A consultation will help determine if now is right for you.
Am I a good candidate for laser resurfacing?
Good candidates for laser resurfacing include anyone seeking to improve wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or uneven texture. The CoolPeel laser works well on various skin types. A consultation with Dr. Margoles will determine if this treatment aligns with your goals and skin condition.
Is laser skin resurfacing worth it?
Yes, laser skin resurfacing is worth it! Patients consistently praise laser resurfacing for its dramatic, long-lasting results. The CoolPeel’s minimal downtime, comfortable treatment experience, and transformative improvements in skin texture and tone make it one of our most requested and satisfying treatments.
